Control Panel

Try this... right click your Start Button then click Open. Then make a folder named Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} This is an easy way launching programs in Control Panel :D

THATS COOL, and it works (just done it)!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

:D I thought you don't like it :D

way kool, thats even Neato :eek:

I like it!!!

In addition to the Control Panel you can also add:

Printers.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
History.{FF393560-C2A7-11CF-bff4-444553540000}
DUN.{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48}

to the start menu. Be sure to include the " . "

That is pretty handy. Any idea what all the numbers in brackets mean?

They are called GUIDs or Globally Unique Identifiers. For lack of better choice of words, they are like serial numbers for applications. . .or at least that is my understanding.

Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

The Control Panel's key is called [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}] and the ID is the last set of number after CLSID, in this case '{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

:D

Randolph, that is the cooledt top that i have ever done....
where didja learn to do that at?

Randolph,
very cool... i'm with Cable Modem Tech...where'd you dig up that reg hack??

I've been using this trick since shortly after Win95 came out. I guess I use it so often I just forgot about it.

ive been using this for awhile,. i even posted it in the tip section of my website.

I learned to do that ny listening to a sunday morning talk radio show, About 3 yrs ago. If you live in the greater LA area listen to KFI 640 (AM) and there is a show on on sunday morning called Jeff Levy on computers. he has lots of tips and tricks.

Ditto especially as WinME & 2K alreay have this function built in to the Taskbar Options.

I also believe that this tip was also posted under the WinDrivers Tech Tips section on the Homepage a couple of years back also.

Handy none the less though.

I think its cooooooooooooool...
I was just as pleased when I upped to Win2k and found all these little coooooooool extras :rolleyes:
